"what?"

Hattori Heiji immediately frowned and took out the invitation letter that had been sent to him before.

"I came here only after being invited."

The girl with twin tails glanced at the invitation in Hattori Heiji's hand and took it with a hint of disgust.

The next second, she tore off the invitation.

"No more now, you can leave."

After saying that, the girl with twin ponytails turned around.

"You!" Hattori Heiji was anxious, but he only saw the girl walking back to the door.

"Go back," she glanced at the people outside the door, "This is not the place for you little brats."

Without waiting for Hattori Heiji to say anything else, she reached out and closed the door, completely shutting Conan and his party out.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan, and Conan looked at Hattori Heiji again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Moori Kogoro, who was still accustomed to being disliked by others and was not so arrogant, reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"Hey, two brats, let's go."

"Really," after turning around, Mouri Kogoro also began to curse, "Who is he?"

Seeing Mouri Kogoro carrying his daughter on his back and preparing to go back to the car, Conan quickly stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Moori Kogoro.

"Okay uncle, this means there is no case."

After all, he doesn't believe in ghosts.

And I have always believed that no matter what happens in this world, it can be explained by Ke Xue.

Hattori Heiji, who was still a little angry in his heart, still carried Toyama and Ye on his back and prepared to go back.

I started thinking about this commission in my mind.

It stands to reason that when entrusting a commission, a part of the deposit will be paid in advance. However, the owner of this house did not want anyone to come over after paying the deposit...

While he was thinking, the door behind him that was originally closed by the girl with twin tails opened again.

There was still the sound of the door opening like someone was laughing, but this time it was not the domineering girl who came out just now.

This time, an old man dressed as a butler came out. He leaned over and saluted several people.

"I'm really sorry for the trouble that the eldest lady has caused you just now. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the eldest lady."

Putting the unconscious Maori Lan on his back in the car, Maori Kogoro shouted to the two brats who were still talking.

"Hey, let's go."

"Oh." Conan, who had just turned his head, turned back again.

When looking at Moori Kogoro, Conan's eyes showed admiration.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Maori would not suffer in vain in this regard.

As expected of his father-in-law.

"My master said that in order to compensate you, we are willing to double the commission fee."

The butler spoke again, but at this time, Mouri Kogoro had already taken Conan and Hattori into the car.

His expression was one of disdain.

How much commission money can you get for such a small case? Moreover, this was a commission from Hattori Heiji and had nothing to do with him.

The car started at this moment. Although he had no interest in it, Mouri Kogoro still asked, "By the way, that Osaka brat, how much money can you get for this commission?"

Hattori Heiji thought about it and gave a number, "Ten million."

The car that had just been started stalled the second after he finished speaking.

When Conan raised his eyes, he saw that Kogoro Mori had already gotten out of the car and walked up to hold the butler's hand, with a familiar look on his face.

Hattori Heiji looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

But I still got out of the car.

Mouri Kogoro carried Xiaolan on his back, Hattori Heiji carried Kazuha, and they all followed the housekeeper into the haunted house in front of them.

Unlike what it looks like from the outside, the furniture inside is much more luxurious.

The series of famous paintings in the corridor made several people unable to look past them.

The housekeeper walked at the front, looking at the famous paintings and introducing them.

Conan looked at the paintings whose price tags were almost tens of millions or billions, and his eyes fell on a mark behind a painting.

"Grandpa Butler." He said.

The butler who was introducing the painting stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Conan pointed to the painting.

"Is there another painting that has been replaced here?"

His eyebrows furrowed slightly for a moment, and the housekeeper said with a smile again, "Yes, but that painting was forcibly hung up by our eldest lady for a period of time before. Later, the master felt that the value of the painting was not high and let him give it up." got it."

"Oh, that's right." Conan blinked his big eyes and didn't ask any more questions about the painting.

Not only him, but the other two people also saw that moment of disgust.

"The young lady you are talking about is the girl with the twin tails just now?" Hattori Heiji said, and now he felt a surge of anger whenever he thought of that arrogant blonde girl.

The housekeeper nodded, "That is Miss Cugu Mai, she is also our master's granddaughter. Although the eldest lady has a bad temper, she is a very good person."

"Oh, really." Hattori Heiji curled his lips. He didn't believe it anyway, but after all, he was at someone else's house, so he had to at least respond if he didn't believe it.

He led several people to the guest room, and Xiaolan and Heye, who were still unconscious, were put on the bed.

Conan completely felt at ease after covering the two of them with the quilt brought by the servant.

Knowing the professional habit of detectives who like to look for clues, the housekeeper standing at the door leaned forward with a respectful attitude.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. Dinner is at seven o'clock in the evening. Someone will come to take you to the restaurant then."

"Yeah, I understand." Hattori Heiji said back.

The butler bowed again and left.

The moment he walked back to the first floor, the doorbell rang again.

The butler was stunned, walked through the entrance hall and opened the door.

And standing in front of him was a woman he had never seen before.

……

"Okay, let's look for clues." Mouri Kogoro, who had finally settled Xiaolan, now had fighting spirit.

For a moment, he seemed to see a lot of money passing in front of his eyes.

"By the way, Osaka boy, what is this commission you received?"

Although the invitation letter had been torn up, Hattori Heiji, who had a good memory, still recited what was written in the original invitation letter.

Ten years ago, two people were suddenly hanged in this house one day. The youngest son of the original owner of the house also disappeared on that day.

The police came to investigate, but they only came to the conclusion that two people had hanged themselves and one was missing, and the case was hastily closed.

Originally, this incident was gradually forgotten because there were no more problems, until a year ago, the place began to be haunted.

Some people say they see ghosts appear outside their windows, while others say ghosts scream at night.

The number of servants at home was getting less and less because of fear, and the family was also panicking, so they invited Hattori Heiji, who is a high school detective in Kansai, to solve the problem.

Hattori Heiji also thought about it at this time, "The person who sent me the invitation seems to be the current master, Tatsuo Cugu, whom the butler mentioned just now."

"The dead are his son Hisao Cugu and his son's friend Naoda Noboru."

"The missing one is his grandson Cugu Tatsuya."

"I've been missing for ten years," Mouri Kogoro muttered.

People who have been missing in this world for ten years are basically marked as dead.

"Is there anything else?" Conan asked when Heiji Hattori didn't say anything else.

Hattori Heiji shook his head, "No, that's what it says on it. Let me solve the haunting issue as soon as possible."

"There can be no ghosts in this world." Conan said.

"Yeah, I think so too." Hattori Heiji agreed.

The two of them almost looked at each other, and their long-lost competitiveness arose.

"Uncle, team up with this kid. If you can deduce the truth of this case faster than me, I can give you all the commission money this time."

Mouri Kogoro, who a second ago was thinking about whether he could have any wine for dinner, nodded immediately.

"Really? Kid, don't say I bullied you then."

"Of course not." Hattori Heiji smiled confidently.

At the moment when the two teams separated to look for clues, Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

That guy Kudo didn't seem to be in such a bad mood after all.

He thought so.

But he will definitely win this case!
